micro bit
every child has an inner inventor. We remember that, as a kid, we used to get excited on those little do-it yourself kits. Technology opens up possibilities and can help us achieve near-miraculous things, but it can also be complicated. In fact, it is so complicated these days that it can sometimes seem completely out of reach.
Launched last year, the BBC micro:bit, a pocket-sized, programmable computer, was designed to change this. The aim was to help every child unlock their creativity with technology, and the device was given free to a million 11-year-olds across the UK, introducing them to the world of invention. Already, a number of exciting micro:bit projects have been brought to life, from acceleration measurement in rocket cars to helping people with autism recognise other people's emotional states. Following the success of the BBC project, the Micro:bit Educational Foundation was born. It's a not-for-profit organisation that will support the global roll-out of the micro:bit.

Computational Thinking
According to renowned computer scientist, Jeannette M. Wing, computational thinking skill is the most in-demand skill in the age of information. Computational thinking allows us to problem-solve and think like a computer scientist. more
Programming at Early Ages
Educators agree that the best age to learn a skill like math or language is ages 5 - 11 years old. Similarly, children need to start learning coding at an early age to build a deeper foundation for their future. more
MIT App Inventor
MIT professor Hal Abelson took the initiative to build a platform to to make app development easy and accessible for people who were non-programmers, even kids. more
Python
Python is one of the most popular programming language in the world right now which has helped create platforms like Facebook and Youtube! And surprisingly it is so simple that kids aged 5 years old can understand it. more
Any plan for NOV schools break?
Join our Campsa country's most valuable source of innovation is its youth. Helping young people experience the self-fulfilment of digital creativity is vital for motivating the next generation of inventors. Research has already confirmed that the micro:bit has encouraged children to consider pursuing science, technology, engineering and maths in the future.
